Methyl Alcohol (Methanol)

Methanol is a light, volatile, colorless, flammable and toxic liquid with a sweet alcoholic odor. Unlike ethanol, methanol is highly toxic and poisonous to the central nervous system and may cause blindness, coma, and death. It is used as an antifreeze, solvent, fuel, and as a denaturant for ethanol. It is primarily used in the manufacture of Formaldehyde.
